Hi,

form does not support tooltips. What form elements are you interested in? And what form version are you using ?
We could provide you the solution how to get html object of these elements. And then you could set title attributes for them.

The element is input and select .
The code version is v2.6 . Is it possible to show the tip when the we click the elemets or use the TAB key to switch to the elements . I wonder whether we can have cool style of the tips not only like the style as we add a title to …

What i want is to make the page more user-friendly .

Thanks for your great help !!

Currently we do not have plans to implement custom tooltips.

To get input and select objects you may define the following methods:

dhtmlXForm.prototype.items.select.getSelect=function(item){
return item.childNodes[0].childNodes[1].childNodes[0];
};
dhtmlXForm.prototype.items.select.getInput=function(item){
return item.childNodes[0].childNodes[1].childNodes[0];
};

var selectObj = yourForm.doWithItem(selectName, “getSelect”);
var inputObj = yourForm.doWithItem(inputName, “getInput”);
